Program Purpose Grants for artists at all stages of their careers
{"Image DocumentName": "Program Purpose Grants for artists at all stages of their careers", "Image ImageDescription": "Career building and professional growth. Projects must promote professional development and be strategic to career advancement. The focus of this program is on the artistic growth opportunity for the applicant. This is a program about you as an individual. Applicants may not apply on behalf of a duo, group or organization. You may however name specific people that you intend to work with during the project, but the focus must be on your personal artistic or career growth. Emerging artists have just as good a chance at funding as those who are well established. At the beginning of the panel process the panelists discuss how they will assess artistic quality from established artists, emerging artists, and those working in folk and traditional forms. Each application is considered on its own merit and is not compared to other applications. All project activities must take place within the state of Minnesota. If you are named in another Arts Board application as an artist, you are still eligible to apply for an Artist Initiative grant in your own name. A live, in-person, community component is required of all projects. However if your project has not reached its final form, then some form of work in progress community component should be planned. A second option would be to conduct a community workshop, related in theme or content to your project.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
